What it is

Green and red peppers are the mature fruits of the Capsicum annuum plant. They are botanically fruits but commonly used as vegetables in cooking. They are typically grown in warm climates and harvested when ripe, then often chopped or diced for use in food products.

Why it's used

Peppers are added to foods for their flavor, color, and texture. They are a common ingredient in savory dishes like frozen dinners, pizzas, and salads, as well as side dishes like french fries and potato products. Their natural sweetness and slight crunch can enhance the overall appeal of a prepared food.

Evidence suggests that consuming peppers as part of a balanced diet is associated with general health benefits, though specific health claims are not made.
